No cool color effects. It reads just like fog, and to an extent it is fog as particulates encourage condensation. But it's the same in all directions, which fog usually isn't, at least not here.
Spot the shitty visual pun!

Smoke
We're not surrounded by fire up here by the Canadian Border, but Oregon has been sharing some of their smoke with us. It's been rated "unhealthy" for three says, so we're staying inside.

You have my sincere sympathy. Here in Australia the fires between December 2019 and March 2020 consumed 46 million acres. We had weeks of the worst air quality in the world. The good news is that I was able to re-use my smoke filtering mask when the corona virus came along.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteTo be perfectly honest, we in Bellingham often experience smoke from perfectly normal fires both north and south of us. We never enjoy it, and it's especially noxious this time around. Locally, I just accept it.
It's that the entire west coast of the USA is also experiencing this same situation that has me a little alarmed, and photographing my little corner of it!
I took a look at an official "wildfires map" of the western US and was amazed. The whole damn place is on fire!
ReplyDeleteLet's hope bad smoke is the worst you get to experience. There are some tragic pictures on the news of burnt-out residential areas in Oregon and elsewhere. I was also amazed to read that a lot of US "volunteer" firefighting is done by prisoners! WTF?

Yeah.. it's a bit wetter up where I live, so nearby fires are more of a rarity, but things could change. Things are changing, I guess.
DeleteBuckle up, kids!
the prisoners do volunteer! It's interesting and a change, they have to qualify for a specific unit in the prison for the training, it's a marker of high respect within the prison population to qualify and to serve, plus it's a positive mark within the system to release early and so on. Well, that's how it is in some systems. [stone seal]
